[Gaming Romance + Spoiled, High-Maintenance Heroine × Scheming Hero + Finding a “Mistress” for Your Match]
I posted a marriage-seeking ad in a game, hoping to find myself an easygoing partner to enjoy retirement with. I never expected the person who answered to be Hong Chen, an eighteenth-tier powerhouse who had crossed servers from Starfall Wilderness just to meet me.
He crossed servers for me, but I regretted it the very first day we met.
If I called off the engagement outright, I’d look like a heartless jerk. But I didn’t want to marry him, either. Hong Chen, however, was determined to marry me and wouldn’t even settle for being ordinary teammates.
So I came up with what I thought was the perfect solution: find a more suitable partner for my matchmaking prospect.
Later, Meng Qingxi, Mu Zhenyin, Shang Weiyan, and Nailuo came into my life one after another, and I drew each of them into this absurd plan. But every one of them had a past that had never reached its conclusion.
Someone had never confessed their love. Someone was still caught in the memory of a fireworks display. Someone had schemed for all they were worth, yet had never been chosen. And someone had hidden another identity while staying by one person’s side for many years.
I thought I was only finding a partner for Hong Chen, and that I was merely an onlooker in their stories.
But on the very first day Hong Chen came to see me, Lu Yu called me a “heartless jerk” over the Great Wilderness’s server-wide voice channel.
After a long silence, Hong Chen asked me just one question:
“Lu Li, three years, three servers?”
Only then did I realize:
Perhaps he had crossed servers for more than just a marriage ad.
